this girl was amazing, balancing matkas on her head and wobbling, jumping walking back and forth.
We went from Goa to Pondicherry, which are on opposite coasts. same side as the andaman islands. ( bay of bengal ) Pondicherry has a huge french influence, french street names, real espresso, and attitude to match. There was mile or so promenade beside the crashing sea, where anyone whos anyone gets their daily excersise and social needs out of the way. We stayed for two nights in the fanciest boutique hotel pondy has to offer. Our room was stylish, two floors and completed with dark wood. We ordered room service, took bubble baths, watched sattelite TV, made phone calls, and basically revelled in the luxury we needed so badly after 3 mos of budget travel!!! we ate our anniversary dinner at this ultra chic resteraunt that reminded me of the milk bar in clockwork orange. it was completely white....everything. the lower level was completely tiger print, and the washrooms were mirrored mosiac floor to ceiling. totally different than the florescent overhead lighting, cafeteria style places we are used to eating at. we spent a couple days here then left on the train to calcutta 30hrs.
